    The Harlequin

    Where's Tommy Lee. Tommy Lee is the understanding of Kartel as Harlequin in a purified form (unlike his appointed heir in Popcaan who is great but fundamentally boring)

    EDM versus Disco

    You lot are really going to make me defend EDM just to further undermine this abortion of a thread, right? Is this what we're doing?

    Sadmanbarty's guide to Post-Grime London

    On a sad note about this, I remember hearing Wiley on a podcast getting interviewed and he wanted to open it with why Iggy Azalea was better than anyone in the UK because she could do An American Accent. You can tell that the accent is in fact an obsession of Wiley's both in it's proper...

    EDM versus Disco

    The real problem with Disco is it's an A) urban music and 2) doesn't exist in the south and the west. There's just whole sections of America, even in the black communities, who look at Disco like 'man what is that bullshit'. There's a certain pretense to Disco that never gets interrogated.

    EDM versus Disco

    I actually dabble in EDM. Corpse is a Calvin Harris appreciator (albeit begrudgingly). Maybe we should reinvestigate the muck.

    EDM versus Disco

    I'm off to work but no EDM is Pop by the standards of rockism which is what you're using to venerate disco. And I'm not saying that as a dismissal of disco but you've basically turned it into the more 'authentic' medium because you can quantify the exhibition of labor in it's creation. Tom...

    Road Rap

    It's been a while since I've listened to Moscow so their unique qualities are lost on me these days. Their deaths and I think Loosescrew tried doing the afroswing thing at the end of last year. A lot of demoralization happened tail end of last year so when the new tunes popped up I missed a lot...

    Road Rap

    Yeah, you know the Brooklyn Drill rappers are all West Indian b/c they never act like it. Every Brooklyn Rapper who's ever affected a patois has no trace of that ancestry, it's a fundamental law. It's why you never heard Biggie speak in that accent beside one verse. Also gonna take umbrage w/...

    Chief Keef thread

    We don't have to tear down Thug to appraise Keef, I like Thug a lot but the problem isn't for a lack of good ideas (he had many in a short period of time) but the problem was he was impossibly stupid in letting himself be represented well in documentation and also the environment of Atlanta...

    The TIME Barrier.

    As the son of a musician, and someone who briefly tried to study at music school I can confirm that what Third says about the Bach stuff is very real. This is admittedly one of my early bugbears on bullying Corpse, but a lot of people who accept something is very good and established as quality...

    Road Rap

    A lot of these guys are surprisingly hard to get ahold of. I was messaging various producers all over their youtubes/twitters/listed emails for articles way back when and I couldn't get any replies.
